Should Cindy Sheehan protest at Bush’s Dallas home? (Topic of the Day)

Former President George W. Bush recently said that what he missed most about the White House was the cooking of the top-notch chefs there and meeting with members of the military. Funny, Cindy Sheehan didn’t make his list.

No matter, he doesn’t have to do without her absurd antics. She’s bringing her roadshow to PReston Hollow this weekend to protest his actions as president. She crossed the line between principled crusader and crackpot long ago, so I shouldn’t be surprised at this, and I wasn’t the biggest fan of Bush’s as his presidency wore on, but this makes me truly sympathetic for the man. Let him retire in peace. This is especially true for Bush who has refused to make any comment on current events or policies since leaving the White House.

What do you think? Should protestors target the retirement homes of former presidents? Can’t Sheehan find something more useful and less nutty to do, like continue to attack Nancy Pelosi for being far too right-wing (Sheehan’s assessment, not mine)?
